Acceptance and Use of eHealth/mHealth Applications for Self-Management Among Cancer Survivors

摘要：

　　Cancer survivors acceptance and use of eHealth/mHealth applications for self-management can be unique and are not fully understood. We used data from the Health Information National Trends Survey 4 Cycle 4 to examine cancer survivors acceptance and use of eHealth/mHealth applications for key self-management processes, and conducted logistic regression and Rao-Scott design-adjusted Chi-square tests to assess bivariate associations between potential predictors and actual use. Potential factors were selected based on the Individual and Family Self-Management theory. High acceptance of eHealth applictions was identified, and adoption of mHealth was relatively low. Younger, higher educated, married, employed, and higher income survivors tended to use eHealth/mHealth applications for self-management. Survivors who were newly diagnosed or still on treatment were more likely to look for cancer information online or communicate with health providers electronically. BMI and rural residency were associated with use of mHealth apps to achieve a health-related goal and treatment decisionmaking.
